Description
We built ProtonVPN with extra security features to make it better at protecting your privacy than an ordinary VPN. When you use ProtonVPN to browse the web, your Internet connection is encrypted. By routing your connection through encrypted tunnels, ProtonVPNs advanced security features ensure that an attacker cannot eavesdrop on your connection. It also allows you to access websites that might be blocked in your country.
Proton VPN is available through winget as package ID Proton.ProtonVPN, with version 5.1.8. Use the install command above to set it up on Windows without downloading a separate installer manually.
